Peg Powler is a hag and water spirit in English folklore who inhabits the River Tees. Similar to the Grindylow, Jenny Greenteeth, and Nelly Longarms, she drags children into the water if they get too close to the edge. She is regarded as a bogeyman figure who is invoked by parents to frighten children into proper behavior. The 19th century folklorist William Henderson describes Peg Powler as having green hair and "an insatiable desire for human life" and she is said to lure people into the river to drown or be devoured. The foam or froth which is often seen floating on certain parts of the Tees is called "Peg Powler's suds" or "Peg Powler's cream".

  • Пег Паулер (англ. Peg Powler) — речная ведьма из английского фольклора с зелёной кожей, длинными волосами и острыми клыками, по легенде, она обитает в реке Тис. Она топит людей, которые слишком долго блуждают близко к краю воды, особенно любит топить непослушных детей; в Миддлтоне и в Тисдэйле её упоминают как большого зелёного призрака. Она подобна голландской фольклорной фигуре , славянскому духу воды Водяному и немецкому духу воды Хэстрмэну. Гриндилоу и Зеленозубая Дженни — подобные персонажи, взятые из этого же фольклора. (ru)
  • Peg Powler es una criatura del folklore inglés parecida a una bruja, con la piel verde, el pelo largo y los dientes afilados. Se dice que vive en el río Tees, en Durham, en la parte norte de Inglaterra. Cuando alguien solitario se acerca demasiado al borde del agua, especialmente si se trata de niños traviesos, ella les agarra los tobillos y los ahoga en el río. Se dice que la palabra Peg o Peggy está relacionada con la palabra griega pegae, un duende o ninfa del agua. Peg es, por lo tanto, una deidad pagana. * Datos: Q3056199 (es)

Se dice que la palabra Peg o Peggy está relacionada con la palabra griega pegae, un duende o ninfa del agua. Peg es, por lo tanto, una deidad pagana. Este personaje, una especie de espíritu del agua, es común en el folklore inglés y se puede encontrar con similares características y otros nombres a lo largo de todo el país ( en Yorkshire, en Lancashire, por ejemplo). Todos parecen haber sido inventados para asustar a los niños, como prevención para que no se acerquen demasiado a aguas peligrosas. * Datos: Q3056199 (es)

A similar creature named Nanny Powler is said to haunt the River Skerne, a tributary of the Tees. Michael Denham regards her as either the sister or daughter of Peg Powler. Elliott O'Donnell paints a somewhat different picture of Peg Powler in his 1924 book Ghosts, Helpful and Harmful. He describes her as a spirit who lures men and boys to their doom in the River Tees by appearing as a beautiful young woman with green hair and pretending to drown so that her victim will enter the water in an attempt to save her. She may even appear on land on foggy nights and lead men astray until they stumble into the river. The Peg Powler myth is at the heart of the novel Ironopolis by . (en)
